Microbes exist in showerheads, but simple habits can reduce their impact.Part II. TRANSCRIPTIs your showerhead as clean as you think? This is a city like no other. An invisible army of microbes lives here, including bacteria, fungi, moulds, and mites, and it’s the one place you’d have hoped would be clean – your showerhead.microbe n. 微生物mite n. 螨虫If you unscrew it and take a peek inside, you might be surprised as to what you find – quite possibly a slimy dark biofilm. When you switch on the shower, it’s not just steam and water that come out, but a blast of microbes as well. Rob Dunn, an evolutionary biologist from North Carolina State University, calls showerheads extreme environments because they are either bone-dry or soaking wet. (Q1) Once you’ve showered, the head remains warm and dries out undisturbed, creating the perfect ecosystem for bacteria to feed on dissolved nutrients from the water.peek n. 窥视,偷看slimy adj. 黏滑的,覆有黏液的biofilm n. 生物膜It seems the majority of us don’t need to worry about catching a bug from having a shower, though. (Q2) “Only showers contaminated with Legionella and other opportunistic pathogens pose a risk,” says Frederik Hammes, a drinking water microbiologist at the Swiss Federal Institute of Aquatic Science and Technology in Switzerland. Meanwhile, one study in the US found that warmer areas, like Florida and Hawaii, with higher chlorine levels tend to have more pathogenic mycobacteria, which can lead to higher rates of a chronic lung infection called non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) lung disease. (Q3) This is likely because the showerhead has less time to dry out in more tropical climates, so bacteria can grow more easily.Legionella n. 军团杆菌,军团菌属opportunistic adj. 伺机性的pathogen n. 病原体chlorine n. 氯pathogenic adj. 致病的,病原的mycobacteria n. 分枝杆菌;分枝细菌Even if becoming ill from your showerhead is highly unlikely, you’d probably still like to reduce the number of bacteria coming out when you’re trying to get clean. (Q4) One study found that the spray pattern of your shower makes a difference – mist mode spreads NTM cells a lot more than a massage or rain showerhead, for example. Higher temperatures have also been shown to spread microbes more easily. (Q5) The best way to keep bacteria away, though, is to regularly clean your showerhead by descaling it or soaking it in lemon juice.descaling n. 除垢Since we can’t fully eradicate the microbes in our showers, and we like to stay clean, we’ll have to learn to coexist with them.Part III. KEYQ1. A.【解析】本题为细节题。题目出处为:“Once you have showered, the head remains warm and dries out undisturbed, creating the perfect ecosystem for bacteria to feed on dissolved nutrients from the water.” 意为:“洗完澡后,花洒依然温热,并在不受干扰的状态下自然晾干,这为细菌生长提供了理想温床,使其能够摄取水中溶解的养分。”由此可以推理,花洒由于其干湿交替的特征与温暖的环境共同形成了细菌生长的理想环境,因此答案为A。Q2. B.【解析】本题为细节题。题目出处为:“ ‘Only showers contaminated with Legionella and other opportunistic pathogens pose a risk,’ says Frederik Hammes.” 意为:“Frederik Hammes 表示,‘只有被军团菌和其他机会性病原体污染过的花洒才会构成风险。’”根据原文信息可以推理,健康风险的来源在于“病原体污染”,因此正确答案为B。Q3. D.【解析】本题为推理题。题目出处为:“This is likely because the showerhead has less time to dry out in more tropical climates, so bacteria can grow more easily.” 意为:“这可能是因为在更加炎热潮湿的气候中,花洒没有足够的时间晾干,因此细菌更容易生长。” 因此答案为D。Q4. C.【解析】本题为细节题。题目出处为:“One study found that the spray pattern of your shower makes a difference – mist mode spreads NTM cells a lot more than a massage or rain showerhead.” 意为:“一项研究发现,花洒喷洒模式不同会导致不同的结果;例如,喷雾模式比按摩模式或雨淋模式更容易传播非结核分枝杆菌细胞。”依据原文可以推理,不同喷洒模式影响微生物扩散范围,因此答案为C。Q5. D.【解析】本题为主旨题。题目出处为:“The best way to keep bacteria away, though, is to regularly clean your showerhead by descaling it or soaking it in lemon juice.”意为:“文章指出,减少细菌的最佳办法是通过除垢或柠檬汁浸泡等方式定期清洁花洒。”根据全文可以推理,文章主要传达的信息是“花洒中存在大量微生物,但通过简单方法可以减少其影响”,因此答案为D。(本文图片来源于摄图网,版权归摄图网所有)

According to some experts, what is the most likely long-term consequence of building new roads to reduce traffic congestion?A. It provides a permanent solution to traffic congestion.B. It reduces the number of vehicles on the road over time.C. It leads to more people driving, causing congestion to return to previous levels.D. It causes a significant shift towards public transportation.Part II. TRANSCRIPTThe cost of car dependency (Q1) Driving: do we love it because it’s quick and convenient, or is it just that we don’t have a choice? Either way, commuting by car is becoming more common across the world. While this could mean that people are getting more mobility and freedom, could it have a cost?As the number of cars on the road increases, so does congestion. As more people travel by car, more road space is used up. (Q2) According to the OECD’s International Transport Forum, the average person travelling in a car takes up five times as much road space as someone on a bus. This is made worse by the fact that, on average, today’s cars are larger than those of the past. Tailbacks and other traffic jams in the UK could be costing £7.5 billion each year in wasted time.congest v. 使拥挤;堵塞tailback n. (因交通堵塞形成的)车辆长队(Q3) It’s not just gridlock and wasted time that’s the problem. Car dependency has significant health impacts. (Q4) Air pollution from diesel and petrol cars can cause health problems such as asthma and other respiratory illnesses. Road traffic accidents lead to injuries and fatalities. Additional to this are the long-term problems caused by sedentary lifestyles, leading to poor fitness and obesity. Road-building developments can also split communities, leading people to feel cut off. Where road transport dominates an area, people without access to a car can feel isolated.gridlock n. 市区交通大堵塞dependency n. 依赖asthma n. 哮喘respirator n. 呼吸器sedentary adj. 久坐的Cities and countries are sometimes tempted to build new roads to reduce the potential for snarl-ups. (Q5) However, some experts say that this can cause induced demand, where increased road capacity leads to more people driving, and congestion is soon back to its previous level. The other side of this theory is that when road space allocation is taken away from private cars, often congestion won’t get any worse. Authorities in some cities, such as Seoul and Utrecht, have demolished motorways, leaving natural features such as streams and rivers in their place. Making drivers pay more is an approach used in cities like London or Singapore, where ten-year car ownership licenses can cost over £60,000. The increased costs can help reduce the number of cars on the road and make traffic flow faster.snarl-up n. 交通堵塞demolish v. 拆除(建筑物)Part III. KEYQ1. B.【解析】细节题。题目出处为:“Driving: do we love it because it’s quick and convenient, or is it just that we don’t have a choice? Either way, commuting by car is becoming more common across the world. While this could mean that people are getting more mobility and freedom, could it have a cost?” 意为:“开车:我们爱它是因为它快速便捷,还是只是因为别无选择?无论如何,全球驾车通勤变得越来越普遍。虽然这可能意味着人们获得了更多的行动自由与自主空间,但这是否会带来代价?”该句明确指出驾车带来的好处是“更多的行动自由与自主空间”,因此正确答案为B。Q2. D.【解析】细节题。题目出处为:“According to the OECD’s International Transport Forum, the average person travelling in a car takes up five times as much road space as someone on a bus.” 意为:“根据经合组织(OECD)的国际交通论坛,开车出行的话,每人平均占用公路的空间是乘公交车出行的五倍。”因此正确答案为D。Q3. A.【解析】推断题。题目出处为:“It’s not just gridlock and wasted time that’s the problem.” 意为:“问题不仅仅是交通堵塞和浪费时间。”在语境中,gridlock与wasted time并列,且前文提到congestion、tailbacks和other traffic jams,因此可以推断gridlock指交通堵塞非常严重,以至车辆无法移动的状态,故正确答案为A。Q4. D.【解析】细节题。题目出处为:“Air pollution from diesel and petrol cars can cause health problems such as asthma and other respiratory illnesses. Road traffic accidents lead to injuries and fatalities. Additional to this are the long-term problems caused by sedentary lifestyles, leading to poor fitness and obesity.” 意为:“柴油和汽油车造成的空气污染会导致哮喘和其他呼吸系统疾病等健康问题。道路交通事故导致受伤和死亡。除此之外,久坐不动的生活方式还会导致长期问题,例如体能不佳和肥胖。”文中直接提到了A、B、C选项,但未提及“Hearing loss from traffic noise”(交通噪音导致的听力损失),因此正确答案为D。Q5. C.【解析】推理题。题目出处为:“However, some experts say that this can cause induced demand where increased road capacity leads to more people driving, and congestion is soon back to its previous level.” 意为:“然而,一些专家表示,这可能导致诱发性交通需求,即增加的道路容量导致更多人开车,交通拥堵很快又恢复到了以前的状况。”因此正确答案为C。(本文图片来源于摄图网,版权归摄图网所有)

To describe a court case about social media addiction.C. To prove that social media addiction is a mental disorder.D. To explore the pull of social media and related concerns.Part II. TRANSCRIPTWhat Science Can Teach Us About the Pull of Social MediaYou have probably heard of the social-media addiction trial that recently took place in Los Angeles. A young woman took Meta and YouTube to court, accusing them of making her addicted to social media — and she won.This was an interesting court case, and one that raises many questions — questions that there are currently no clear answers to, but that people ought to think about, especially as they are likely to pop up in many upcoming debates.Social media is extensively used.As many as one in every three people use social media, and in the USA, people are reportedly spending around 6 hours a day on it. In 2025, Facebook was the most popular social media platform with over 3 billion users, closely followed by WhatsApp and Instagram, which both had about 3 billion users. Approximately 60% of the global population use some kind of social media, if not multiple platforms. With such extensive use, it is not strange that social media addiction (SMA) has become a focal point for many researchers.focal adj. 中心的;重要的Is social media addictive? (Q1) It is worth noting that the DSM-5 (the diagnostic tool for psychologists) does not recognize SMA as a distinct mental disorder; it is often discussed as a condition that requires more research. Thus, the conversations around SMA are not necessarily straightforward.DSM-5 《精神障碍诊断与统计手册》第五版diagnostic adj. 诊断的;用于判断的Within the research literature, SMA has been described as a specific form of digital technology addiction. It refers to the excessive and compulsive use of social media platforms, which can lead to detrimental life consequences. SMA shares components with behavioral disorders like gambling, including salience, mood modification, tolerance, withdrawal, conflict, and relapse.compulsive adj. 强迫性的;难以自控的salience n. 显著性relapse n. 复发;重新陷入(不良状态)(Q2) In a study reviewing over 30,000 participants’ scores on media addiction and personality, it was found that neuroticism can be a risk factor for compulsive social media behavior. Even though the relationship was not very strong, it perhaps indicates that some people may be more likely to become addicted. There are other personality characteristics associated with increased likelihood of compulsion, such as narcissism, Machiavellianism, and psychopathy. But it needs to be mentioned that there may be external factors that contribute to the link between excessive social media use and personality. It is even possible that SMA may vary depending on the platform that individuals use.compulsion n. 强迫(行为);难以抗拒的冲动narcissism n. 自恋;自我中心Machiavellianism n. 权谋主义psychopathy n. 精神病态Should social media be legislated?To what extent social media ought to be controlled by law is a difficult question to address. Just as with debates around tobacco, alcohol, and gambling, there are bound to be varied opinions. (Q3) As more researchers appear to agree that SMA may be a genuine addictive disorder, then presumably, as with other substances, it should be managed to reduce potential risks. (Q4) The cognitive complexity involved in deciding what to view online is also one that should be carefully debated when it comes to children. In most societies, children are guided as to what they can watch in the cinema or on television. It is difficult to see why social media ought to be any different.Part III. KEYQ1. B.【解析】细节题。题目出处为:“It is worth noting that the DSM-5 (the diagnostic tool for psychologists) does not recognize SMA as a distinct mental disorder; it is often discussed as a condition that requires more research.”。意为:“值得注意的是,《精神障碍诊断与统计手册》第五版(心理学家使用的诊断工具)并不未将社交媒体成瘾视为一种独立的精神障碍;它通常被视为一种需要进一步研究的状况来讨论。”因此,正确答案为B。Q2. C.【解析】细节题。题目出处为:“In a study reviewing over 30,000 participants’ scores on media addiction and personality, it was found that neuroticism can be a risk factor for compulsive social media behavior.” 意为:“一项针对3万余名参与者在媒体成瘾和人格特质方面评分的研究发现,神经质可能是强迫性社交媒体使用行为的一个风险因素。” 该句明确指出神经质是风险因素之一,因此,正确答案为C。Q3. A.【解析】推理题。题目出处为:“As more researchers appear to agree that SMA may be a genuine addictive disorder, then presumably, as with other substances, it should be managed to reduce potential risks.”。意为:“随着越来越多的研究者似乎认同社交媒体成瘾可能是一种真实存在的成瘾性障碍,那么可以推断,就像对待其他成瘾物质一样,也应对其进行管控,以减少潜在风险。”由此可以推断,正确答案为A。Q4. C.【解析】细节题。题目出处为:“The cognitive complexity involved in deciding what to view online is also one that should be carefully debated when it comes to children. In most societies, children are guided as to what they can watch in the cinema or on television. It is difficult to see why social media ought to be any different.” 意为:“在涉及儿童时,对于在线内容选择所涉及的认知复杂性,也应进行审慎的讨论。在大多数社会中,儿童观看影院或电视节目的内容都会受到引导和限制,而社交媒体在这方面显然不应例外。” 该段表明作者认为儿童在社交媒体上的浏览内容也应受到引导,因此正确答案为C。Q5. D.【解析】主旨题。全文围绕社交媒体的吸引力、是否成瘾、以及应如何应对展开探讨,因此主要探讨社交媒体的吸引力及其引发的担忧,正确答案为D。 (本文图片来源于摄图网,版权归摄图网所有)

Additional to this are the long-term problems caused by sedentary lifestyles, leading to poor fitness and obesity. Road-building developments can also split communities, leading people to feel cut off. Where road transport dominates an area, people without access to a car can feel isolated.gridlock n. 市区交通大堵塞dependency n. 依赖asthma n. 哮喘respirator n. 呼吸器sedentary adj. 久坐的Cities and countries are sometimes tempted to build new roads to reduce the potential for snarl-ups. (Q5) However, some experts say that this can cause induced demand, where increased road capacity leads to more people driving, and congestion is soon back to its previous level. The other side of this theory is that when road space allocation is taken away from private cars, often congestion won’t get any worse. Authorities in some cities, such as Seoul and Utrecht, have demolished motorways, leaving natural features such as streams and rivers in their place. Making drivers pay more is an approach used in cities like London or Singapore, where ten-year car ownership licenses can cost over £60,000. The increased costs can help reduce the number of cars on the road and make traffic flow faster.snarl-up n. 交通堵塞demolish v. 拆除(建筑物)Part III. KEYQ1. B.【解析】细节题。题目出处为:“Driving: do we love it because it’s quick and convenient, or is it just that we don’t have a choice? Either way, commuting by car is becoming more common across the world. While this could mean that people are getting more mobility and freedom, could it have a cost?” 意为:“开车:我们爱它是因为它快速便捷,还是只是因为别无选择?无论如何,全球驾车通勤变得越来越普遍。虽然这可能意味着人们获得了更多的行动自由与自主空间,但这是否会带来代价?”该句明确指出驾车带来的好处是“更多的行动自由与自主空间”,因此正确答案为B。Q2. D.【解析】细节题。题目出处为:“According to the OECD’s International Transport Forum, the average person travelling in a car takes up five times as much road space as someone on a bus.” 意为:“根据经合组织(OECD)的国际交通论坛,开车出行的话,每人平均占用公路的空间是乘公交车出行的五倍。”因此正确答案为D。Q3. A.【解析】推断题。题目出处为:“It’s not just gridlock and wasted time that’s the problem.” 意为:“问题不仅仅是交通堵塞和浪费时间。”在语境中,gridlock与wasted time并列,且前文提到congestion、tailbacks和other traffic jams,因此可以推断gridlock指交通堵塞非常严重,以至车辆无法移动的状态,故正确答案为A。Q4. D.【解析】细节题。题目出处为:“Air pollution from diesel and petrol cars can cause health problems such as asthma and other respiratory illnesses. Road traffic accidents lead to injuries and fatalities. Additional to this are the long-term problems caused by sedentary lifestyles, leading to poor fitness and obesity.” 意为:“柴油和汽油车造成的空气污染会导致哮喘和其他呼吸系统疾病等健康问题。道路交通事故导致受伤和死亡。除此之外,久坐不动的生活方式还会导致长期问题,例如体能不佳和肥胖。”文中直接提到了A、B、C选项,但未提及“Hearing loss from traffic noise”(交通噪音导致的听力损失),因此正确答案为D。Q5. C.【解析】推理题。题目出处为:“However, some experts say that this can cause induced demand where increased road capacity leads to more people driving, and congestion is soon back to its previous level.” 意为:“然而,一些专家表示,这可能导致诱发性交通需求,即增加的道路容量导致更多人开车,交通拥堵很快又恢复到了以前的状况。”因此正确答案为C。(本文图片来源于摄图网,版权归摄图网所有)

@上外@上纽大@2026年暑期教学设计工作坊

一、课程描述Grounded in the principles of ExperientialLearning Theory, this three-day workshop guides college English instructorsfrom essential theoretical perspectives to hands-on approaches for designingeffective EAP courses in colleges and universities. Beginning with a review ofkey learner-based learning theories, attendees explore student-centeredprinciples for integrated listening/speaking and reading/writing course design,with particular attention to active learning and communicative engagement.Attendees then consider how experiential learning can inform inquiry-driven EAP course design, especially theuse of English as a medium for disciplinary exploration. Following a structuredreview and guided preparation, attendees collaborate in groups to presentcourse design projects that demonstrate their reconceptualized student-centeredpedagogy. Together, these sessions offer a coherent, practice‑oriented pathwayfor instructors seeking to integrate student‑centered and experiential learningframeworks into EAP curriculum development. Handouts are provided, and active participationis anticipated.二、课程目标1. Attendees will explore key learner‑basedlearning theories, including Experiential Learning Theory, to establish atheoretical foundation for student‑centered EAP course design.2. Attendees will apply student‑centeredprinciples to the design of integrated listening/speaking and reading/writingcourses, with an emphasis on active learning and communicative engagement, aswell as EAP courses in which English serves as a medium for disciplinaryexploration.3.
